Match

Haladas sink to position 11

15 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market

Laszlo Nikolic asks to leave Haladas

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Haladas

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Davyd Fesyuk

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Loan watch

Marton Lisztes wants to come home

“I did not go to Jablonec to sit and watch. I want to come back to Haladas and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 17 matches say the rest.

Match

Haladas see off MTK Budapest

Three points for Haladas, 1-0 the final word against MTK Budapest in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Roland Paku gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom

Haladas pull $5.7M back off the table

The money that was there in the summer is not there now. Nobody upstairs calls this a change of ambition, and everybody downstairs reads it as one.

Market

The Laszlo Bese talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Haladas know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market

Gergő Bánfalvi hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Haladas can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Gergő Bánfalvi: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Haladas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Krisztián Tamás left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Krisztián Tamás will call it something else in private.

Squad

Costly mistake from Davyd Fesyuk

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Davyd Fesyuk knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Loan watch

Viktor Botka wants to come home

“I did not go to Vasas to sit and watch. I want to come back to Haladas and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 21 matches say the rest.

Match

Honours even between Haladas and Ujpest

1-1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Krisztián Tamás knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Haladas, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Andrés Araujo wants a proper job in this side

Shifted about, taken off before the hour, asked to do somebody else's running — Andrés Araujo has had enough of being useful and would like to be picked. Haladas know, and have known for weeks.

Puskas Akademia left with the points after a 0-1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Akos Sallai joins up with his country. Haladas lose him for the window and would like him back in one piece.

No end in sight to Haladas's wait for a win

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 6 of the 26 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Match

Vasas take the points off Haladas

Beaten 1-3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Dávid Bobál

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The terraces

Everybody has an opinion about Norbert Szélpál

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Squad

Zsolt Kleinheisler finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Haladas have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Match

Haladas are in real trouble now

Position 11, 8 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market

Laszlo Nikolic asks to leave Haladas

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Davyd Fesyuk keeps Haladas in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Dávid Bobál and Haladas agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Haladas and Debrecen take a point apiece

It finished 3-3, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Zsolt Kleinheisler asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Haladas sell their best player to Vasas

$930.0K is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

Squad

Andras Bese stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Andras Bese and Haladas agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Zsolt Kleinheisler

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

$190.0K — a new record at Haladas

No footballer has ever cost this club more, and the number will be read out every time he misplaces a pass for the next two years.

Market

Haladas turn down Sporting Cristal for Vladislav Davydov

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

The Laszlo Bese talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Haladas know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

Somebody is after Dávid Bobál’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Dávid Bobál suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Haladas have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Diego Corsini sold, and an era ends

$3.4M from MTK Budapest for Diego Corsini. Money is money, but the dressing room has lost the man it looked to.

Market

Haladas break the bank for Gergő Bánfalvi

$250.0K. No player has ever cost Haladas more, and expectation arrives with him.

Gabor Nagy hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Haladas can pretend not to have heard.

Tamas Kleinheisler is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Haladas is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Haladas has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Norbert Szélpál

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Dominik Bese wants to come home

“I did not go to MTK Budapest to sit and watch. I want to come back to Haladas and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 15 matches say the rest.

Dominik Sallai hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Haladas can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Daniel Kleinheisler says Haladas went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

Haladas come up short against Puskas Akademia

Puskas Akademia left with the points after a 1-2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 6 of the 28 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Squad

Haladas lose Rodolfo Gamarra

53 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match

A bad afternoon for Haladas against Ferencvaros

1-2 to Ferencvaros, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Match

A bad afternoon for Haladas against AGF

0-1 to AGF, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The manager makes an example of Vladislav Davydov

Match

Haladas run riot against Honved

3-0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Gabor Varga knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Haladas, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Somebody is after Norbert Szélpál’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Norbert Szélpál suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Haladas have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Gabor Nagy

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Norbert Szalai is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Haladas is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match

Haladas find a way past AGF

AGF made Haladas work for it, but the scoreboard read 2-1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

No place for Norbert Szélpál on the big day

He found out with everybody else, an hour before kick-off, from a sheet of paper on a wall. Nobody at Haladas pretended it was anything other than a decision about him.

Costly mistake from Gabor Nagy

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Gabor Nagy knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Gabor Nagy keeps Haladas in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Haladas are no longer polite ones.

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Window shut, Gabor Varga still here

No goals between Haladas and Diosgyor
